Blog Post #2 - God Help the Girl, or So Help Me God?

This film was quite intriguing to me honestly. One area of the film that really tinkered with my brain was the dimensions and the border between the musical/singing aspect, and the actual acting and plot aspect. While watching this film I found myself confused by the almost pivoted perspective on how the plot would be disregarded for a few minutes for a almost music video, which did serve the plot, but did not really develop the story line. The musical aspect seemed to exemplify and solidify the feelings of the characters more so. The stereotypical awkward boy girl relationship in the film was completely personified by the singing and music video, but in my opinion it took away from plot development and seemed to make the film stagnant. When all 3 characters "took" the canoe on the river the singing seemed to distract, or pretty much anytime there was singing at all.
